r 1 r" -n Horry. If llorry hne such rich feitile and productive lands, if its possibilities were as great as claimed, tiuw is that conditions were such as pictured? Were the people so lazy, indolent and thriftless that they failed to develop the raw material that was going to waste in nature's great Store? None of these things was the i-iiso. It will be recalled in the fust place that tile up country was far niiPiul n( i.h? nnuat fonrtips in uif neulturftl and industrial development. That there was scarcely a /section in any community in the up country but was within easy reach of a good market and not far lroin ruiboad transportation. Such vas not the case with llorry. 3t had no market worth speaking of within fifteen to forty miles, except ji small corner in the extreme outer j edge of Uloyds township bordering on the IVilmingtor,, Columbia and .Angiuta branch of the AtlanticCoast ianc. To these unfavorable condii on-}, u ich in themselves wero < ough tu appall the stoutest heart iind paraiy/e the energies of the most active, must bo added the conditions tho war left tlu-se people in Unlike the people of almost every other section of tho State they had but little cultivated land to resume tho interrupted struggle for a livelihood, The excigies of the situation called for the pursuit of a work that would bring an immediate return in clothes and fuod for their thinly clad and half starved families. The conditions were such that would permit of no delay. The timber interest of the county was vast, its forests abounded in large tracts of tiuiber; which yielded bo h lumber and turpentine and as the peo pie of the other counties turned their attention to agriculture and stock raising with cotton as a basis of credit, so the people of I lorry turned tho.r attention to ton timber and tumuit no with the latter ns a biuis of credit further secured by U ??. Uw. 1 _ .1 Ml U _ ' * n aiui uii uiu inim, xuu |)iu ture 01 the two economic systems were neither pleasing nor satisfactory in oontrast. Instead of the white Holds of lleocy staple and waving grail and the cotton gin marking the road of progress and wealth as up there, the still and the blazed faoed pine stood as gaunt sentinels guarding the pathway which leads to Poverty Flat, against the advance of progress. The advantages o! transportation facilities and favorable environment induced the investment of capital in factories, manufactories, and other industries. Tin very isolation of 1 lorry repel let rather than invite the investment oi capital, although the clmuces for i a dividend paying investment wen as good, if not superior to those oi any other Section of the Stale, uiu there was Olie, and only one, thing lacking?the want of quick trans portution facilities. Then, again the products of the tip country were growing richer and richer as the years went by on account of tin cheapness with which they con It be marketed, the increased productiveness of their land and the sys tern of diversification which the) practiced, While those of Horry were becoming poorer and poorer, laboi more irksome, burdensome and dis couraged. The forests were beiiif exhausted, the ruthless hand oi man, the elements?fire, wind ant water?conspired together to de stroy the valuable yellow pine, tin in i in dependanc of the people oui of which to eke out a precarious living. There was no reproductioi of this pine as is shown from tin fact that there is v< ry little of i standing in the county today. Tin debt ridden people were going deep er and deeper in debt, mortgagei were being foreclosed, the cost of living was advancing to such figures as to make the luxuries ami even the comforts of life prohibitive and the common necessariei of life h ird to obtain. Is it an) wonder t hat ihe seeds of disconrag inent wt re being sown broadcast th it the energies of the people wen ncingsupped when confiscation star ed them in the face? J W O . ? LoitffB.
